This a robot can walk, without electronics, and only with the addition of a cartridge of compressed gas, right off the 3D-printer. It can also be printed in one go, from one material. Imagine a robot ...

While there are many potential uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still typically only built in small experimental batches. Scottish scientists are out to change that, with a ...

Humanoid robots, given their crowded internal geometries, can also benefit from 3D printing. Cooling channels and wiring ...

As the saying goes — when life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. When life gives you a two-ton surplus industrial robot arm, if you’re [Brian Brocken], you apparently make a massive 3D printer. The ...

Additive Engineering Solutions (AES) of Akron, Ohio — a company that has specialized for years in additive manufacturing of large polymer composite components — has now adopted a new method for 3D ...

The day is coming when you may walk past a robot and have no idea it was a robot. Over years of engineering, we've given robots skeletons, brains, senses, and even a nervous system. Muscles have ...

It's taken almost two years but a planned community of homes made with a gigantic 3D printer in Georgetown, Texas is almost complete. Reuters reports that the homes, which are part of a community ...

A cheetah’s powerful sprint, a snake’s lithe slither, or a human’s deft grasp: each is made possible by the seamless interplay between soft and rigid tissues. Muscles, tendons, ligaments, and bones ...

A spinning 3D printer nozzle creates soft robots with built-in air channels that bend in programmed directions, turning flat printed structures into grippers and shape-shifting devices. (Nanowerk ...

Researchers from Leiden University in the Netherlands successfully 3D printed a microscopic robot that moves around like a single-celled organism, despite not having a brain. According to the ...
